Katsume is the daughter of Jiraiya and Tsunade after a grief-led, drunken fling. She grows up without ever knowing her parents. Tsunade leaves Katsume with a woman she saved during the Second Shinobi War, the Old Bat, after her birth. She grows up learning jutsu and chakra control from the Old Bat who used to be a legendary shinobi in her younger years. She wanted to pass on her legacy, having no children of her own. Years down the road, Katsume has built herself a career as a renown bounty hunter. Coming home after over a year chasing a bounty, she finds a scroll spilling the secret that her mother is alive. Her need for answers gets the better of her and she sets her sights on the Leaf Village, where her sources say her mother is the Hokage. What will happen when she confronts her mother about her abandonment? How will her life change with this new discovery? Best Rankings: #1 in KakashiHatake #1 in Jiraiya #1 in Tsunade Naruto storyline and characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto I only own my Original Character, Katsume, and her storyline.

**Book 2 of The Huntress Duology** "Do what makes you happy." What the fuck does that guy know? Happiness is bullshit. Three years have passed since Katsume left the Leaf to help train Naruto with her father, Jiraiya. Three years since she kissed Kakashi on that rooftop knowing she might never see him again. And for what? She's no closer to understanding The Old Bats' prior role before she was tasked to raise Katsume. No closer to understanding the Akatsuki's true mission. No closer to mastering an end-all finishing attack for when the Akatsuki (or Orochimaru) make their next move. And definitely not any closer to finding the traitor hiding in the shadows of Konohagakure, or maybe in plain sight... How did everything go to shit? And can Katsume overcome the obstacles littering her path to happiness? DIsclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. The Naruto series is owned by Kishimoto. I only own my character, Katsume, and her story.
